NFL: Atlanta Falcons Get Even Better

The deal is worth $12 million for 3 years.

NFL: Damn, No Loyalty In The NFL, Falcons Cut 3 Top Players

Every NFL off season you know this is coming. Top players who have worked their a** off for their teams get cut because of financial reasons. But in reality what it means is the team no longer thinks that player will still be able to contribute in a way that will be worth their higher salary. This year the Falcons are that team. Despite only being 1 game short of the Super Bowl, they decided to release the leading rusher Michael Turner, the leading sack man on defense John Abraham, and veteran secondary player Dunta Robinson. These 3 players are literally 3 of the best guys on the team. You telling me they couldn’t make the money work for these guys? That’s a shame too, because I do not see them getting back deep in the playoffs without these players. Other teams will definitely benefit though, believe that.
